Hey Danny,
Let me first start by saying I Love U Dad!That was something that was never talked about,but was known.I didn't realize how much I needed a Dad until I had one,and got a best friend to boot.There has never and will never be another man in my life like you.You always said when you were out of town to "take care of my girls" so I will do anything and everything I can to help Vicky and your girls.I can't wrap my mind around the fact that we won't talk to or see you again.I just keep waiting for you to come home.We miss you tremendously and that won't change.I know you are spoiling Jeremy up there in Heaven and that thought is comforting.I know between Vicky and your girls and me,everything that you would want done here will get done.Well I better go now Kim said it can't be five pages long.I will give the grandkids a hug for you.Until I see you again.
THE GOLDEN ONE!!!

Hey Danny, We have been thinking about you a lot. Bodie is missing you really bad. He says he doesn't know how he is gonna get thru each day without you. I miss the times that you would call here and ask me if Bodie could come out and play or you would call and say "Bodie, This is Bill and Doug's brother. Call me." I remember when Crystal and Clay were little and you would come over long enough to wake them from their nap, get them all stirred up, then you would leave. I think about you everytime I see the little ceramic johnny house in our bathroom that is permanently turned upside down now. You always managed to do that every time you visited. I miss you coming in the house talking to me while Bodie and the other guys stayed in the garage watching the race. You were not only family, you were a true friend. We both miss you terribly, but we'll see you again someday. Love and miss you, Donna and Bodie

O.K. I wanted to leave one more thing and this will be it. I promise.
I just want to add so much about how you sweet, kind, and loving you were and how you always lifted me and others up when we needed it. I just don't have a lot of room to leave it. so here is the prayers....
Miss Me - But Let me Go!
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little-but not too long
and not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me-But let me go.
For this journey that we all must take & each must go alone,
It's all a part of the Master's plan
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonley and sick of heart
go to the friends we know,
and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me - But Let Me Go.....
...God has given us a balance.
Enough joys to keep us glad,
Enough tears to keep us humble,
Enough good to balance bad.
Just trust in Him you'll see
Though yesterday brought sorrow,
The clouds will part & dawn will bring
A happier tomorrow.
I love you always! "What a man,What a man, What a mighty fine man!"
Love you!

I have always thought of you as one of my favorite brothers. You will be remembered as a clown , there when ever you were needed and smiling always. We used to come and play cards every Friday night. Half the time we were laughing so hard our ribs were hurting. I find it hard to believe you're gone, but I know we will see you again. I am writing this for Granny too. We loved you very much. We will miss you so much. I find comfort in knowing you will be watching out for us from above .

Hi Vicky and Family I didn't get to come to the Service, but you were and are in my prayers, I am very sorry for your loss. I only saw Danny a couple times, but from all the good things I have heard about him, he must have been a very good man and didn't deserve to go so quick.
God Bless you and Nicole told me about this.

Hi uncle danny,
I miss you so much. I am still trying to grasp that you are gone and not just out of town. I spent alot of time with you and vickie at the house during the summer. You were my favorite uncle. I remember when you use to pick on me. I wish you were still here picking on me, and playing pranks on people. I miss you.

Paw Paw,
I really enjoyed all the hugs and love that you gave me. I will always have you in my heart. I want to thank you for being so good to us and always giving us what we want. I hate that we couldn't have spent more time with you, but we will again one day. I have cherished all the times that you came to see us and played with me and Bubba. You are always going to be the best man that I have ever known. I love and miss you.
Your 5th angel.

Paw Paw,
I miss you so much and I want you to know that you will always be in my heart. I loved it when you bought my bike and you were able to see me ride it. You taught me how to use my brakes. Thank you for always giving me money and all your love and attention. I will try by best to stay your angel but it's hard with Skylar being mean to me. I can't wait to see you again. I will always be your little buddy. You will always be my Paw Paw. Love you

Hi Pawpaw, I miss you. I will miss the way you would come in and say "There's my girl There's my little girl" and then pick me up. I will miss the way you spoil me by giving me anything I wanted, even something I couldn't have, like a fork or a stick. I will miss how you changed me, remember? You took off my diaper and let me up so you could find the new diaper, I peed in the floor, stomped in it, put my pacifer in it and then ran with pee on my feet and pacifer in my mouth when you turned and chased me. That was the first time you had watched me alone. That was fun. I love you, Pawpaw, and mommy and daddy will make sure I will know you. We will see you again, but until then, my diaper is wet and I need to go.

Hi Dad. I never got to give you your 'hi' hug. I miss you so much! Everywhere I look you're there, in the kitchen, in the basement, in the car, everywhere and in everything. I don't know how I'm going to go on without you. A piece of me is gone. You always made me smile, laugh. You made everyone laugh. We will honor you by doing the same. Everything I am and do comes from you. You taught me everything. I can still hear your laugh, see the goofy way you dance, the way you cut those eyes over the top of your glasses. I will always miss you. Nothing will ever be the same or right until I see you again. My only solace is that all three of your girls and your 'son' are like you. Just as goofy, just as silly and off the wall. Your influence. I love you, Daddy. And Mell is only deluded. I was your favorite and the best and the prettiest and...need I go on?

Pawpaw, I miss you. I will miss having fun with you. You always played pitch football with me and played games with me. You were so nice and funny and silly. You always put sparklers on the fence on the 4th. You watched scary movies with us. I love you!

Vicky, Shelly, Melanie and Kim & family,
For Vicky, I am so sorry for your loss as a wife. I know your pain and I can only say Jesus is enough. In your lonely times, in the days that seem so long they will never end, on holidays, birthdays, and at Christmas...Jesus is enough. He alone will fill you. Call out to Him. He understands like none other.
To Danny's Girls..How blessed you all were to have a Daddy like Danny. Those of us who grew up without fathers looked to him as a father figure and we were never disappointed. He invested in your lives and ours. We are better to have known him. He was kind, gracious, tenderhearted and constantly looked out for the needs of his family, not only his wife and children and their children..but his brothers, sisters nieces and nephews. My uncle Danny invested time, energy, and love into my life. Things won't be the same without him. The cry of my heart is that we draw close to Jesus and let Him comfort us in these next days ahead. When we enter into relationship with Him, He is our Comforter, Our Sustainer, and The Lover of Ours souls. Seek Him and relationship with Him. Jesus IS truely enough. I love you all,

Dad, You were my Best friend and the best Dad anyone could ever ask for. I will miss our Friday night date nights together and I am going to just miss you all together. I can't wait till I see you again so I can give you a big wet sloppy kiss and rub your chest like I did and you hated it.. Hee Hee! We will keep your funny jokes and all your sense of humor going. I just love you and miss you so much.
Love always, Your favorite daughter.. But I won't tell the others

Vicky, I extend my deepest sympathy in the loss of a husband and friend that I know was very loved. I will always remember the early times in our lives when you first met Danny. We were on top of the world, the four of us. Yours was an exceptional relationship, one that I admired and respected. I am so glad you had so much happiness in your life because of him. Take care of yourself, and know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Always remember the wonderful times and look forward to the day you will be reunited and walk hand in hand again.

Danny was a one of a kind truly wonderful man. There will never be another one like him. We will miss him more than words can express. His "clowning" ways will never be forgotten. He could always make you smile. His mark of always turning little things upside down or hiding things in your house when he came to visit was his unique trade. You always knew when Danny had paid a visit long after he left. Just remember these words: He flew up to heaven on the wings of angels by the clouds and stars past where no one sees, and he walks with Jesus and his loved ones waiting, and I know he's smiling saying Don't worry about me. Love ya always!!
